  • 1 Pack Schweid & Sons The Signature Blend Sliders

  • 8 Slices American Cheese

  • 1 Tsp salt

  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper

  • 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder

  • 8 Small Biscuits (Baked and Split - Homemade or Store-bought)

  • 8 Slices Classic Bacon (Finely Chopped)

  • 1 Small onion (Finely Diced)

  • 1 Clove garlic (Minced)

  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar

  • 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup

  • 2 Tbsp Bourbon

  • 1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

  • 1/4 Tsp Ground Black pepper

  • 1 Pinch Cayenne Pepper (Optional, for heat)

  • 1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.

  • 2. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 7-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

  • 3. Stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and bourbon. Let the mixture bubble gently for 2-3 minutes to cook off the alcohol and thicken slightly.

  • 4. Add the balsamic vinegar, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is rich and jam-like.

  • 5. Stir in the crispy bacon, mix well, and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  • 6. Season both sides of the Sliders with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  • 7. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the Sliders for 2-3 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness.

  • 8. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of American cheese to each Slider. Cover the skillet to help the cheese melt.

  • 9. Place a cooked Slider on the bottom side of each biscuit.

  • 10. Top each Slider with a generous layer of bourbon bacon jam.

  • 11. Top with the remaining biscuit halves and serve immediately.
